You might semi supinate your deadlift grip (one hand over, one under) for comfort & endurance at heavier weights. I believe some competitions even mandate this for safety reasons.
Those of you who semi grip, do you ever alternate? If so, have you identified any benefits in doing so?
A friend brought this up with me a couple months ago. It was a reasonable ask, and yet I’ve never thought to switch hands. I try to only use a semi grip when necessary (heavier sets, fewer reps).
I’ve recently started experimenting with switching it around for a few higher volume sets. Is there any benefit from switching long term, or session to session?
I’ve never switched in over ten years of lifting and have not encountered any obvious problem from this. I figured that if I compete with mixed grip, I’m better served with getting more practice pulling the same way each time.
Trained a similar amount of time without giving it any thought, mostly curious as to whether other people experiment with it at all since that question from my friend caught me off guard.
As for pulling the same way each time, it really doesn’t feel any different to switch. I don’t really know turn my left palm around besides doing it that way the very first time I felt the need to. That said, I would definitely prefer to stick to it for the very heaviest sets.
